The Worst Golf Products

[Imurg]

I remember Gibbo on a drunken ebay night buying a great set of irons....shame they were left-handed

I'm a vulgarian, hate the litter of dead wooden tees.

I see far more broken plastic tees littering my course than broken wooden ones.
I am a complete vulgarian and I will use either wood or plastic depending on what I have been stealing by finding recently.

Iron covers.

Or, the tubes that slot into bags.

So are you confessing to having bought both?
Please tell more?

"Worst" is relative. A couple of quid on a monogrammer (never did it) is such little money.
My worst purchase was a Progen carry bag. Lasted one winter then started to fall apart in several ways at once.
You are unlikely to see them as "vintage golf bag" on ebay for this very reason.

Smiffy thought he'd bought a sheep dog off ebay one drunken night

I've not bought one and never will. Remote controlled trolley.

 

[Tongo]

Definitely poker chip ball markers

Attached photo shows the current state of my official Powakaddy drinks bottle holder.
The rivets and bits of white plastic are what I've had to add to repair it after various breakages.
It came free with the trolley, but I think they have the cheek to charge in excess of £10 for this miserable bit of plastic.

I'd laugh, but I have a nice set of left handed Leyland irons sitting in the garage....

I'm afraid I am.

When I first star playing and wanted to by anything golf related.

The tubes were the worst thing. They were essentially a pipe cutter for my first graphite shafted driver. It didn't end well.

The iron covers lasted a few rounds before going in the bin.

Rubber tees with string attached to keep them together. I have seen people waste more time looking for these than their ball.

I knew someone who used to tie them to a wooden teepeg, which he'd then secure the the ground or the mat. He'd then use the rubbers to tee off, but never lose them.
You couldn't make it up! ?

So, we have met before. Unless someone has been copying me.

Another shocker someone got me was like a belt clip pouch that's meant to hold three golf balls in it. What the hell is the point of that??

Love this. Really useful if your trousers don't have any pockets. Or if your golf bag doesn't have any pockets. Essentially a golfer's bumbag, but probably 3 times the price

I can imagine my mum seeing this in a catalogue and buying me one for Christmas.

I used to have one of those sponge ball cleaners:
Ball Cleaner and Tee Holder - Masters Golf

I think every single worst product can be quickly located on the masters golf website. Aladdin's cave of tat.

Rubber tees with string attached to keep them together. I have seen people waste more time looking for these than their ball.

Knitted pom pom tied to string sorts that one out.
'Amateurs'.

Anything sold in Marks & Spencer/John Lewis as Christmas presents to be bought by a non golfing relative!!
All end up in bin or charity shop.

I dread opening a golf present from a well-meaning relative. It's very rarely anything I want or need but there have been a couple of exceptions; my sister bought be some rain gloves, and mum-in-law chose a bucket hat. I'd never thought to try either before but they're both great in the winter.

On the other hand, I think I have two boxes of those oh-so-funny golf balls painted to look like balls from other sports and I definitely have a 'toilet golf' putting game.

 

[peld]

ahh yes the toilet golf. Infamous secret santa present that went to the charity shop unopened

My missus bought me a battery operated cleat cleaner. So low on power it stopped turning as soon as it touched the spikes.

Blimey !!, I mis-read that first time round
